COLLECTION ESSENCE

US-based Big Ass Fans, the world’s largest manufacturer of energy efficient fans are used in diverse industries like agriculture, aviation, bars & restaurants, event centres, hospitality, retail, sports venue, office spaces, theme parks, schools, fitness centres and warehouses. At Big Ass Fans, they have an insatiable drive to improve, engineer, design, test, re-engineer, re-design and re-test until they get it just right. They don’t do things halfway — they go Big Ass. And they’ve got the awards to prove it. Here’s a list of their core believes:

POWER

You can’t say “Big Ass Fans” without thinking “Power”. Every fan we build is powered with a motor that means business. A motor that brings comfort to the people wherever the people need comfort.

PERFORMANCE

When it comes to performance, our fans deserve a standing ovation. That’s because they’re masterfully engineered to deliver airflow like no other. Whether it’s a sprawling warehouse, a spacious office, or a stylish living room, every big ass fan delivers comfort.

BEAUTY

Whether in a factory, a restaurant, or a great room, a big ass fan is a jaw-dropping work of art that elicits oohs and aahs. It’s no wonder that they’ve garnered countless international awards for design excellence.

BRAINS

Without brains, beauty is just another pretty face. That’s why Big Ass Fans are engineered to be as smart as they are attractive. State-of-the-art features like voice-enabled technology, environment-monitoring sensors, and automated airflow control prove there’s truly more to our fans than what meets the eye.

PRIDE

You won’t find it listed on a product spec sheet. It doesn’t have a serial number or a barcode. But, it’s in every product we build. It’s called pride. Pride in who we are. Pride in how we work. Pride in what we make.

EXPERIENCE

No one knows more about conquering uncomfortable conditions than Big Ass Fans. Since we sparked the HVLS revolution 20 years ago, we’ve been helping thousands of businesses and homeowners transform their space with cool and comfortable airflow. How? With unrivaled experience and unequaled expertise. With knowledge and knowhow second to none.

DEDICATION

You’ll see it on the factory floor. You’ll witness it in research and development. You’ll hear it on every service call. We’re talking about dedication. Dedication not only to make extraordinary fans, but to making people’s lives more comfortable.

INGENUITY

The best fans begin with the best people. With this philosophy in mind, we’re proud to employ the industry’s top engineers, designers, and craftsmen. From their unmistakable design to their unrivaled performance, Big Ass Fans are a testament to a team that settles for nothing less exceptional engineering.

With a gearless direct-drive motor that provides quiet, comforting air movement, Essence is ideal for any space from foyers, pavilions and music venues to seaside dining and open-air theatres. A single Essence provides cooling over the same area as 64 standard ceiling fans.
